After reading the best/worst jobs thread, I realized that a few of us are involved in healing professions, as well as being committed to sharing music. I am continually astounded by the impact "silly" camp songs have on patients. Currently working with four mentally and physically challenged adult women and have been teaching two of the women to play Autoharp (one presses the chord bars while the other strums-kindasorta). I'm looking for any suggestions for simple, two chord songs to play on the Autoharp. The songs need to stay on one chord for a few measures before changing. Also hoping for information, advice, stories, experiences from anyone else who may be doing similar work with music. Have brought music to Hospice patients as well which is guaranteed to bring a smile. Any others????
